Tommy growls and snipes at everyone this week, his flat's in a mess and
he drinks himself out of his job at the garage. This doesn't
stop Craig from moving in with his dad, thinking it'll bring the family back
together. In all of this Martin-Katy stuff, it's David and Craig who
are suffering the most and Craig thinks he's found a way to get Martin out
of their lives forever. He cuts the brake cables on Martin's car and
there's a crash, bang, wallop and the most unconvincing piece of fake wall
and dud bricks topple down onto Martin's car before it goes up in flames.
Fortunately, I suppose, Tommy pulls Martin out of the car before he dies
in the fire but Martin's in intensive care as Katy, Sarah and David bicker
over his almost-dead body about who has the most right to be there and the
nurse assumes Martin's Katy's dad.
Granada have obviously got a shedload of bricks as we see them once
again when Charlie the builder bricks up the Underworld entrance in his ongoing
spat with Mike. As Mike's executive assistant, it's left to Nick to
knock the wall down. Meanwhile, Mike gets a visit from the merry widow
Penny who wants an eye cast over her books, suspecting jiggery-pokery from
her new manager.
Les gets his security tag removed in a rather pointless and unfunny storyline
but it does mean he gets to see his mate Charlie West who gives him boxes
of Christmas stuff to decorate his house. There's a Santa in his sleigh,
flashing lights everywhere and Norris gets a bee in his bonnet about nuisance
neighbours with "dangerous erections on the roof". Young Chesney manages
to make Norris think on about depriving a young lad of his Christmas treat,
even if it is noisy, tacky and tasteless. And a wonderful line in the
Kabin when Chesney and uncle Kirk go in there for bubbly: ....you can
chew a bubbly but you can't bubble a chewy". And how right they are.
Sunita plans her Hindu hen-do and Carian's talked into having a stag night,
to which, somehow, he ends up inviting Dev to. Meanwhile Dev seduces
Maya with red roses (long stemmed) and champagne (chilled). He wants
her to move in with him but she's obviously not as green as she's cabbage
looking because she turns him down flat. I mean she turns his flat down.
Dev knows Sunita shouldn't be marrying Ciaran. Sunita knows she shouldn't
be marrying Ciaran. Even Ciaran knows it. And Bev. And Shelly.
Hey-ho.
Unbeknownst to Sarah, nanna Brenda of the scary brigade visits Bethany at
nursery and waffles on about religion, heaven and hell. And then she
pays Sarah a visit in the cafe reminding her, in tears, that it's her first
Christmas without her son Neil. Sarah's got more pressing things on
her mind, still undecided about what to do with the unborn.
And that's just about that for this week. Merry Christmas
Glenda
